Learning Outcomes



Details of Learning Activities

Classroom tutorial activities:
Lectures: to introduce the important concepts.

- Attending lectures will make it much easier for you to understand the central concepts of the course
- You will feel more comfortable and you will learn more if you read the relevant material before you attend the lectures

Tutorials: to enable you to ask questions and to clarify unresolved issues
- Review the material and prepare your questions before you come to class
- There will be an overview of course content with a focus on the material students find difficult
- If something is unclear or if you find yourself falling behind please ask for help immediately
- You may be given worksheets to complete during the tutorial

Practical exercises: to give you the hands on experience of implementing and troubleshooting networks
- In general there will be one practical exercise per week
- You will perform the exercise and write it up in a lab journal
- The lab journal will be a bound exercise book
- Loose leaf binders will not be accepted
- The write up will be a record of your actions as they are performed and your corresponding observations
- The write up must be performed in the lab as you perform the practical exercise, not at a later date
- Write ups not in the lab journal will not be marked
- Write ups which are not done concurrently with the performance of the practical exercise will not be marked
- In general the detail of the write up must be sufficient for you to be able to comfortably perform the practical exercise a year or more later directly from the lab journal
- Any difficult or tricky points should be especially noted in the lab journal for future reference
- Responses to worksheets for practical exercises must be written up in the lab journal
- The neatness, completeness and the presentation of the lab journal must be of a quality such that you would be prepared to show it to a future employer as an example of your work

Work simulated activities: you will computer related tasks and scenarios to complete as you would be expected to do in industry.

Test and exams:
- You will be required to read and study at least one chapter of the course content per week

Occupational Health and Safety:
Conduct in lecture theatres, classrooms and laboratories will be of a
standard required by OH&S legislation as applied to industry.
- You must behave in such a way as not to place the health and safety of yourself or anyone else at risk
- Covered shoes must be worn in all labs
- Thongs and sandals must not be worn in any lab

Preparation for the Work place:
